A is for apple

So we are still working on the format of our learning time....I recently decided that it was a little much to try and do letter, math, Bible, and theme activities for each day. I decided to try incorporating theme type activities into our letter time. So far I think it is working well. Of course there will be letters whereb it is a bit tricky, but we aren't there yet :)

With that being said, this week we worked on the letter 'A' while incorporating some apple activities as well.

This was a fun game for Lylah! She would roll the die (her favorite part) and then count out that many "apples".

She was super proud of her apple art!!! In fact after she finished she ran out of the room to show daddy....too bad he was working out of town and wasn't actually home!!! PS. Yes those are socks on her hands. What can I say, our daughter can be very quirky!!!

We had several types of Apple treats!!! Slices with shapes in the middle, cooked apples, and Jackson's apple cider slush!!! Yum!!

Our friend Kennedy got to come along for learning time a couple of days too!! Here Lylah is tweezing apples (or supposed to be) and Kennedy is playing the counting apples game.

The girls also made apple pie out of playdough. I wanted to make some cinnamon scented playdough, but just didn't get to it.

The girls also did do-a-dot 'A's. Lylah also painted apple prints, but that didn't make the pictures for some reason, and both girls made apple cores out of paper. We also did a few other activities this week.

Practiced cutting on straight lines. She also practiced writing straight lines. I was really surprised at how well she did with both of this activities!!

This was a great little fine motor activity!!! Balancing marbles on golf tees!!!

Circle art!

And a fall sensory bin!!! We also continued working on making our creation book. This week we worked on Day 3- God made the land. We used our sensory bin several times and also went on walks and talked about our beautiful land!!!
